Business Coaching

What is an "Accountability Partner"?

It is a trusted and respected fellow business professional that will challenge, motivate, mentor, encourage and inspire you to achieve maximum results. An Accountability Partner also provides a different perspective to spring board ideas and to ensure accountability.

What exactly is coaching?

Coaching is the process of working with a collaborative partner in an empathetic and supported environment; having a focused conversation to reveal a change and achieve amazing results. It is now one of the leading tools people use to create outstanding results in their lives and provide greater focus and awareness. Coaches are the unbiased champion of your bigger life.

How do I know if coaching is for me?

People choose to work with a coach when they are a point in their lives where they start to question what is important for them to move forward. Learning how to deal with transitions, changes, life and work balance or possibly identifying your core strength and how to leverage it are all great reasons to have coaching.

How is coaching done?

Coaches use the coaching conversation to establish a focus, promote discovery, determine a course of action, remove barriers, review results and explore the next step.
Most meeting are over the phone and depending on geographical location and preference it can be a one-on-one meeting. Each meeting I will actively listen and contribute observations, curiosity, insights and ask powerful questions.

What is the coaching process?

It starts with a complimentary ½ hour call for me to get to know you and answer any questions you have about coaching and then a decision is made by both of us to continue on with coaching. You complete a Welcome package and we then work together on a needs analysis, setting mutual expectations and the logistics of calls/meetings. Along the way you complete an assessment to ensure expectations are being met.

What will the agenda be for each call?

That’s that great thing about coaching... is it all about you!! The agenda will be yours and you decide what to concentrate on and where you are now and what you are willing to do to get where you would like to be in the future.

What changes can I expect to see in myself?

Coaching creates a positive lasting change that builds on an individual’s experience, strengths and goals. You can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal opportunities, enhanced interpersonal effectiveness and see appreciable results in productivity and the achievement of relevant goals.

Sounds good...now what?

Coaching starts by declaring a powerful future, so when you are ready to declare that you just need to call or email me for your first ½ hour complimentary call.
